Where has the 'magic' at the parks gone?!?

Yup, missing hat this year.

There is definitely a lack of magic this year. We encountered several borderline rude cast members. Also had MORE trouble than ever with those things that make Disney magical (for example, they put our receipt on someone else's packages and we ended up having theirs delivered to us---a difference of about $150 worth of stuff! they ended up reordering it, but it took two days. when we picked it up, it was only 1/2 of the stuff. took another two days to get our stuff!! so things we bought on sunday were FINALLY delivered on thursday!) that's just one example....the general feeling was just not quite as magical though.

Hi everyone. Thank You everyone for all the information on the Caymans. This is to wish everyone happy holidays and a happy and healthy New Year. I will not be returning to the DIS until January 6th. We are so psyched to leave the cold for 2 weeks. I am almost finishhed packing. I had to pack two sets of clothes as my mother in law said it is chilly in Florida and we will be there for one week before the Caymans. Lots of stuff and the car seats, stroller ect. but it is worth it. Anyway I sprinkle pixie dust on you all for a wonderful holiday season. Next year we will all be together. Yeah!!!!!! Time is flying by!!!!!!!

Karin, I would love to take you and your dd with us. If you were not moving you could bunk with us in our two bedroom time share. I look forward to spending it with you and everyone next year.

GarRy, we are staying at the Radission the night before but we are probability going to be coming in late as we do not want to pull Emily out of to much school since she will be missing a few days.

Mary, Deb and Karyn, I will miss our e mails for two weeks. I feel like we have known each other for years.

Fondly-Gail1771

That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that.
Now we could also send PD to WDW to get back a lot of the lost Magic.



p.s. I don't think 'The Mouse' will like me for saying those kinds of things.

 

[wdwgoose]

not so sure that would work but then you never know !!!!!!!!!

we have about 2" on the ground which should melt. it was 18 this morning.

It is a bad thing when W D W starts losing it MAGIC !!!!!!!!
I hope its just a very short thing that they get over really fast.??
so hows it in your area????????
If its bad we could do a meet at the disney welcome center in ocala this week ??????????????
just a thought?????? very warm thought.

jilljill,
did you atleast notice all the trees from the circle in front of the castle have been removed???????????? where mickey and walt are at. It was so sad years age when they moved that statue to some other place!!!!!!! it wasn't long until it came back.

replaced with a few short pine trees. it gives a better view of the castle. not sure i like it ...

 

[wdwgoose]

PAUL,
hay glad to see you back. how was old beano doing ?????
sure it was a great cruise, he seems to do something to the cruise to make it better!!!!!! but then so did old joe and his boonesfarm. wish they could all join us.
hope you and your family have a great holidays and new year.

I thought it was just me! For awhile I couldn't figure out what it was that was different, but then it hit me.

Also not sure if I like it. You get a better view of the castle, but it also looks barren now. No character.

One change for the BETTER was Wishes!! I thought I would be sad to see Fantasy in the Sky go, but Wishes was FAR superior (IMHO!) I could have watched it every single night. Dissapointed they don't have the soundtrack on CD yet.

Hi gaRry!

We had a great cruise and Beano is doing just fine. I don't know where that man gets all his partying energy from!

Sorry to hear that you have to work Christmas day. This is the second year in a row that I will have it off. The pevious 20 years I had to work. It figures that the kids are now all grown that I finally am able to get the day off.

Getting up at 4am to see the Magic come in sounds good to me. Count me in if you decide to do that again!

Paul

 

[wdwgoose]

GREAT !!!! we'll have to add that to the list ?????

WHAT IS IT ??????? did everyone go away ????????
I know I take time away and now everyone else is doing the same ?????????

enjoy the evening I'm still at work until 0730 in the morning.

You can keep the snow in your area - we have had enough here.
